I'm sorry, I thought this was called Politics and War? Why play if you don't want to engage in any of those activities. TEst wanted targets for our members to test out their shiny new missiles and Arrgh and CU provided good targets because there weren't too many members in their ranks that could pile on our lower ranks (who most of us can't defend, even if we wanted to.) They also proved to be good targets that didn't offer many consequences in the way of retaliation via allies. You guys are looking way too far into this. This is why you don't walk down dark alleys without friends. You're bound to walk into a hoodlum looking for a fight. In this case, it's two hoodlums, each with a hand tied behind their back.
